What BIOS setting on this motherboard do i need to change to enable CoreTemp readings?

You shouldn't need to change any settings, if you're using the BIOS screen at startup, otherwise if you're using the BIOS feature within Windows it should still display your temperatures. Maybe it could be some funky setting you have so try putting everything back to factory settings and make sure bios is updated to the latest version. And make sure the echo settings are off. If you want more insight other than what the bios provided to you with I would recommend using some 3rd party monitor from within your operating system. Hope this helps. :-)

I've tried everything to get it working right and nothing. I have a Trinity and a Richland and have the same problem with both. CoreTemp reads 8C on idle, but the Bios reads the right temp. Two of my friends have APU's and have the same problem. We are thinking 2 things AMD did something so they we not read right on third party programs (It doesn't work even on their own software either) or none of the programs have been updated for the APU's. I tried to Google a answer for you, but could not fine one.

when you get into the bios, there will be a very big sign said setting on the left, into this menu and you will see advanced, after that you will see hardware monitor then you can figure whatever you need, that's all I found, pretty good motherboard

Use OC profile 1 at your bios... it will automatically configure to use 2400 MHz Ram speed..

the bios will update its self and recognize the new core on its own. there should not be any problem but if there is resetting the bios would be the quickest fix for any problems.

I'm 99% sure that it needs a bios update to run it. Its super easy to do though, just follow the instructions in the manual.

I'm not 100% sure the BIOS version but i am using a FX-8320 and out of the box no issues at all!

Ours is a few months old, and I didn't update the Bios... ours is working fine!

The last one I bought (Dec 2013) had Richland support. You don't have to worry about the BIOS.

There is a BIOS switch, and you will need to use the 3rd setting for Ivy Bridge CPU's. There have been BIOS updates but I do not think they will effect normal use. (EVGA web site has BIOS update details)

Try updating the bios on the PC to the latest bios. If you have any questions on how to do so, let me know.

Go into your bios after using a processor intensive program like an online video game. See if the temperatures fall within the recommended safe parameters. If the readings indicate overheating then you know that the Noctua is inadequate to the task.

Yep. You'll find those options in the BIOS core settings, along with voltage & memory options. You'll need to update the BIOS driver before using it with the 7850K, depending on the batch though. Easy fix.

You may not have to even worry about the bios. I upgraded from an AMD A6 to this cpu and didn't have to change bios at all. Once I had the cpu installed and the cpu fan connected. ( make sure of this) The CPU set itself up. All I did was turn on the laptop, let it go threw start up, which took a few more seconds than normal. Once windows came up that was it. It is still a good idea to go in and check system processor to make sure it says AMD A10-4600m

you MIGHT have to get into the bios n set it to ACHI?..to accept older bioses?

Where did you hear that? All you will need to do is set the RAM profile to XMP in the BIOS immediately upon first boot, and you should be fine. The motherboard supports 2400 when properly OC'd, which is what XMP will do. Go for it!

Yes, I have this board, but with an AMD 8-core CPU. I had problems getting it to read due to the complex BIOS of the board. Make sure the last 4 digits of your motherboard serial number matches your BIOS version. The final fix for getting it to read was removing the CPU and CMOS battery for a minimum 5 minutes (as directed by ASUS) and then after the systems boots, adjust the BIOS clocking from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ.

What do they mean by updating BIOS. Is this the kind of setup you spend long frustrating hours on? Should I opt for a different brand/model (suggestions?)?

Fortunately ASUS provide very classy overclocking software to determine the best setting. However, on boot verify by going into ur Bios to check it match what is printed on the memory. Only change to what is on those chips if MB did not automatically detect the settings.
